What is it about?
To increase UF in PD patients severely overloaded by UF failure, we infused intraperitoneally 50% glucose solution at 40 mL/h during 1 or several PD exchanges of 2L 1.36% glucose and 4h. Peritoneal glucose concentration was steady below 2.27% and UF increaded extraordinarily, desapearing overhidratation. There were no collateral effects.

Why is it important?
This is an safe and effective method to get punctual increases of UF to treat overhydratation in PD.
